Korean Sweet potatoes, my mistake.  White fleshed variety - absolutely amazing roasted.

 

And yes, I did!  Typically used for tacos, but I needed a heat element and these called out to me.

 

Oh I do enjoy the Korean sweet potatoes. To me heartier and more subtle than what we call a sweet potato  in US and available in a variety of Asian focused markets. I have not done my own pickled carrots in a while since a huge can of them is $1 at $1 store and quality is good. When I see shoppers buying the huge 25 or 50 pound carrot bags I always ask "horses or juicing?" Never get a pickle answer ;) Now I have carrot on the brain.

Us as well.  I also read somewhere that if you freeze them prior to baking you get a superior end product (if you do it whole) - have not tried yet, but will at some point.  Agreed, far superior to the 'orange' sweet potato, IMO. 

 

I have tried the Mexican pickled carrots in cans, what we can get always seem softer than is my preference (though I am sure your selection is far greater in LA) - plus it's a great way to play with some of my frozen chili's.

crack cabbage tonight. Ground pork, red curry, garlic, onion, onion powder and rice vinegar. I  topped mine with chili crisp and my husband couldn't believe it 

He drank beer and I had cru bojo (2017 Lapierre Morgon "N")

It’s been awhile since I’ve made larb, but I had a craving. The limes I had were the unjuiciest ever, but I think it’s still pretty good. And if unjuiciest isn’t a word, it should be!

 

Pork larb.

I have been jonesing for chow fun for quite a while.  There was a vendor in Chinatown who would sell 3 or 4 different types of rice noodles; one could get a sackful for like $2.  But when I went for a walk the other day, she was no longer to be found. Other stores I stopped into led to no success either. So I asked around, and found out a place called Kong Kee sells them, and I took another walk in that direction yesterday...

I don't know what those characters translate to in English, but the address matched the one I googled. And sure enough, rice noodles! More expensive than before, but a few bucks netted me about 3 or 4 lbs. of them...

As discussed elsewhere, wok hei is not happening too often at home. Now Serious Eats has figured out how to do it, (they call it torch hei) but I'm not in the mood for firing up the torch, and or burning down my apartment. So - I just stir-fried them, with a little beef and greens...

Do you make the shells?

 

Nope.  I have tried a couple of times but they always fall apart.  Those are ancient grains ones from Whole Foods.  I forgot the brand name.  Last night, chicken shawarma

And since some are showing wines now, this syrah to share.  It was good.

...and Newfoundland. We ate it pretty regularly in winter, though the blubber wasn't something anyone used anymore (in the old days apparently they'd render it for cooking or lighting, but not by the 70s when I lived there).

Had some filling left over from the stuffed mushrooms, so I stuffed some jalapeños.  They were good, but not spicy at ALL.  And I was in the mood for spicy.

More muffuletta to go with.

Made lamb stew again.  I seem to be addicted to this right now.

Last night, very ugly, but good.  Pork enchiladas, beans and stuffed poblanos.
